Answer:
14cm (i think)
Step-by-step explanation:
8cm= one part
6cm= the other
since there is no curve just add them together
6+8=14
The first step is to determine the distance between the points, (1,1) and (7,9)
We would find this distance by applying the formula shown below
![\begin{gathered} \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} \\ \text{From the graph, } \\ x1\text{ = 1, y1 = 1} \\ x2\text{ = 7, y2 = 9} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{(7-1)^2+(9-1)^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{6^2+8^2}\text{ = }\sqrt[]{100} \\ \text{Distance = 10} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20%5Ctext%7BDistance%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%2B%28y2-y1%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BFrom%20the%20graph%2C%20%7D%20%5C%5C%20x1%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%201%2C%20y1%20%3D%201%7D%20%5C%5C%20x2%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%207%2C%20y2%20%3D%209%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BDistance%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B%287-1%29%5E2%2B%289-1%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BDistance%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B6%5E2%2B8%5E2%7D%5Ctext%7B%20%3D%20%7D%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B100%7D%20%5C%5C%20%5Ctext%7BDistance%20%3D%2010%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
Distance = 10 units
If one unit is 70 meters, then the distance between both entrances is
70 * 10 = 700 meters
Given,
3/3x + 1/(x + 4) = 10/7x
1/x + 1/(x+4) = 10/7x
Because the first term on LHS has 'x' in the denominator and the second term in the LHS has '(x + 4)' in the denominator. So to get a common denominator, multiply and divide the first term with '(x + 4)' and the second term with 'x' as shown below
{(1/x)(x + 4)/(x + 4)} + {(1/(x + 4))(x/x)} = 10/7x
{(1(x + 4))/(x(x + 4))} + {(1x)/(x(x + 4))} = 10/7x
Now the common denominator for both terms is (x(x + 4)); so combining the numerators, we get,
{1(x + 4) + 1x} / {x(x + 4)} = 10/7x
(x + 4 + 1x) / (x(x + 4)) = 10/7x
(2x + 4) / (x(x + 4)) = 10/7x
In order to have the same denominator for both LHS and RHS, multiply and divide the LHS by '7' and the RHS by '(x + 4)'
{(2x+4) / (x(x + 4))} (7 / 7) = (10 / 7x) {(x + 4) / (x + 4)}
(14x + 28) / (7x(x + 4)) = (10x + 40) / (7x(x + 4))
Now both LHS and RHS have the same denominator. These can be cancelled.
∴14x + 28 = 10x + 40
14x - 10x = 40 - 28
4x = 12
x = 12/4
∴x = 3
70/9
7 is equivalent 63/9, and then you add 63 and 7 to get 70/9
